The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Man City - BarcelonaThe closest of the match ups. I hold Barcelona as the favourite, but would not be very shocked if Man City managed to some how beat them.

Olympiakos - Man UnitedThe equivalent of a free pass to the semi final for Man U, imho.

Milan - Atlético MadridGo back in time and Milan would be the favourites, but Berlusconi is a convicted fraud and his team is falling apart. Probably not a clear cause and effect, but still. Meanwhile the lesser Madrid club has improved drastically. I hand this to the Madrileños.

Leverkusen - PSGZlatan and his crew will have a pleasant journey to the semifinal. Sure, it's not Olympiakos, but this is still a sweet deal.

Galatasaray - ChelseaChelsea, of course. Galatasaray has a handful of super stars, Drogba for instance, but it'd still be quite an upset if they beat the Londoners.

Schalke 04 - Real MadridYet another game where the outcome seems certain. The king's men will win. Sure, Germans are Germans, but against Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale et al.... Nah.

Zenit - Borussia DortmundThe Germans win and move Zenit out of the light.

Arsenal - Bayern MünchenThe cost of ending second in your group. It's not that Arsenal is a bad team. It's just that the Bavarian ruling champs are playing the best football in the world right now. Tough luck, Wenger!

So, guess I ended up giving every single matchup to the higher seed. Not very daring, but it's just the way it seems to me. All matchups look predictable.
